In this tutorial, I will show you how to configure Roles and Privileges for the News Module.

Here you will be able to select which privileges to give to a role for the News Module. This will determine what the user with the selected role can view, add, edit, and/or delete within the News Module.

MANAGE PRIVILEGES FOR STUDENT ROLE: (0:22)

Let me show you.

1. First, log in to your account.

2. Go to the Users Module.

3. Click on the Roles button on the top right-hand corner of the page.

4. Select a role from the drop-down list. I am going to choose “Student”.

5. Go to the News tab.

6. Here you will view a brief introduction about the privileges for the News Module and a link to the video tutorial.

7. Take a look at the section below. Here you can check off the box “View News Module” if you want users with the selected role to be able to view the News Module. 

8. In this case, I will leave the boxes "Add/Edit news” and “Delete News" unchecked.

STUDENT’S VIEW: (1:04)

Let's see how that looks from the perspective of a user who has been assigned the role "Student". 

As a student, I can see the news and I can add a "like" to a publication but I can't add, edit, or delete any news posts.

MANAGE PRIVILEGES FOR HEAD OF TRAINING ROLE: (1:23)

Now for the head of training, for example, I am going to allow users with the role "Head of Training"  to view the News Module as well as add, edit, and delete news.

HEAD OF TRAINING'S VIEW: (1:36)

Let's see how that looks. As you can see, the add, edit and delete buttons are visible.

These are the simple configurations for the News Module privileges.
